We invited applications for licences to provide community radio services in the areas for which we received expressions of interest, and which are within, or overlap with, the coverage area of an existing licensed community radio service.
Invitation of applications
Ofcom invited applications for services operating on FM only. No areas are excluded on the basis of frequency availability, but this does not indicate that a suitable frequency will be available in every area. The closing date for applications was 24 October 2017.
List of applicants
This is a list of applications received by the closing date. The proposed service area for each station in the list is taken from the application.
